"Now Available" The Transformers: The Movie - Original Motion Picture Score

[Hursticon]

My copy finally arrived today , so it would seem that after one's order being marked as "Billed" it'll take roughly a fortnight to arrive.
Oh, the quality & sound of this remastered score? - it's audibly divine to the ear.

amazing

That really was awesome, he even has the right hair!! I love all the differnt G1 transformers in the background.

A lot of movies have a soundtrack (mostly songs, maybe some music) and score (JUST background music)... you just have to be careful with distinguishing between them when ordering them online. (now that Hursticon has included a table in the first post, that is a good guide of the difference between the two for the 1986 movie)


Like recently, I finally found the original Batman score (by Danny Elfman), as I could only ever find the soundtrack (by Prince)... and that's not something that interests me, so I had to be careful when buying this one online to be sure it was the Score not the Soundtrack.

For the each of the three TFs live action movies, they have released BOTH, Score and Soundtrack... but not a physical copy of the TF3 score though (I prefer the score to the Soundtracks that didn't even include over half of the songs).
This is a good news for fans of the 1986 movie, now that you can a general release of both Score and Soundtrack. (I have the BotCon version, and it is quite good... particularly since it is longer than the movie itself)

That Batman Score is a very good one.
If they released the score for DOTM I'd be all over that, the "soundtrack" was a bit lacking, certainly not as good as the 2007 soundtrack.

I have the previous two retail versions of the '85 soundtrack, hanging for this score. The Prime Score is pretty good too.

The Music from G1 and the '85 movie is some of the best tv/cinema score I've ever heard. sure it's not Star Wars or LOTR or Back to the Future but it is so distinct, energetic and enjoyable.

That art is fantastic.

I have the BotCon version, but am willing to get this one to prevent damaging it from over-use.

Got mine today. Definitely a must-get, and it's the best there is for the '86 movie score, although the booklet included a review written by some soundtrack editor who got half of the TF-related terms wrong.


Prime approves, this album has got the touch!

Oh excellent! - Glad that you've received yours and that you like it as it sounds incredible huh?
Yeah, there are a number of sections that said Editor has written that are quite funny eh?

Yeah it does sound great and I love their new track naming/listing.

That guy knows his music and I quite enjoyed some of his insightful comments on DiCola's arrangement, but man he knows squat about Transformers..

I've been relistening to this at work today (in the office by myself as co-worker has called in sick).

Still love it, in all it's 80s glory.
